By the late 19th and early 20th centuries, artists and writers were starting to reclaim and promote their own artistic heritage as radically distinct from that of the invading nations, with pioneers such as M. K. Ciurlionis and Vilhelms Purvitis demonstrating rare originality in their work. In the wake of the First World War, the three Baltic countries regained their autonomy, and the 1920s and 30s became a rich period of openness and international artistic exchange. Modernism in all its forms flourished, not only in painting but in sculpture, printmaking, photomontage and the decorative arts, ranging from the elegant abstraction of Arnold Akberg to the provocative figuration of Karlis Padegs and the experimental photography of Domicele Tarabildiene.0 'Art of the Baltic States' is organized into three main chapters, documenting the history of art in each country. Enriched with illustrations from important museum collections, Fauchereau covers key art movements as well as their complex historical background, from time under the Czars and the German crown to the invasion by the Soviet Union and beyond. With each country showcased in its own lavishly illustrated section, this is a wonderful guide to a vibrant field in European art history that is often overlooked but deserves rediscovery and a place on the global stage. 650 0 $a Art, Baltic $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Art $z Baltic States $x History. 650 0 $a Modernism (Art) $z Baltic States $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Art, Estonian $y 20th century $x History. 650 0 $a Art, Latvian $y 20th century $x History. 650 0 $a Art, Lithuanian $y 20th century $x History. 650 7 $a Art. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00815177 650 7 $a Art, Baltic. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00815990 650 7 $a Modernism (Art) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01024442 648 7 $a 1900-1999 $2 fast 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117015312.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=5D72BA8CDCB911EC8436229451ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
